title: [Inhibition of the preovulatory secretion of gonadotropins by prolactin in rats seems to depend on the strain used].
abstract: Intraperitoneal injection of Rat Prolactin to cyclic female Rats results in preovulatory changes which depend on the strain of animals. Specifically, preovulatory surges of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone were suppressed in Sprague-Dawley Rats while delayed but enhanced preovulatory surges of both gonadotropins were observed in Wistar strain.
